Dick Doherty's Comedy Den Special Event Lenny Clarke Comedy Central FX's Rescue Me Fri Jan 17th 8pm Sat Jan 18th 7:30pm

Lenny
Clarke was born in Cambridge, Mass., one of eight children. He decided
to pursue stand-up comedy one night when he was working as a janitor,
putting himself through college at University of Massachusetts in
Boston. That night, he went to the Ding-Ho Restaurant in Cambridge and
saw some comics performing. Convinced he could do the same thing, he
returned the next week and, "The rest, as they say, is history!" he
exclaims. Clarke spent several years as the host of the open-mike nights
there and has traveled the world as a stand-up comic. His comedic
abilities captured the attention of Rodney Dangerfield, who gave him his
first big break, casting him in Nothin' Goes Right. He and Dangerfield
also worked together years later on Meet Wally Sparks. After years of
hard work, Clarke was "discovered" at the Montreal Comedy Festival. He
had his own series, the eponymous Lenny, which ran for 18 episodes.
Other TV work includes The John Larroquette Show, hosting The Sunday
Comics, and appearances on Touched by an Angel and The Love Boat: The
Next Wave.
